Anterior Zirconia Resin-bonded Fixed Partial Denture: Literature Review and Case Reports
The resin-bonded fixed partial denture was introduced by Rochette in 1973. This alternative is a minimally-invasive treatment for replacing missing anterior teeth if patient selection and treatment planning are thoroughly carried out. This article reviews the current literature related to anterior zirconia resin-bonded fixed partial dentures in terms of abutment preparation, design considerations and bonding procedure for this type of prosthesis. The application of zirconia resin-bonded fixed partial dentures in clinical cases is discussed and two cases are presented.
